Practical Demonkeeping is a fantasy novel by American writer Christopher Moore, published in 1992.
Travis was born in 1900, yet he has not aged since 1919, because he accidentally called up a demon from hell named Catch as his servant, presumably forever.
He traces their whereabouts to a fictional town called Pine Cove, along Big Sur coast, where he thinks the woman he gave them to may be residing.
The fictional town of Pine Cove is described as being within easy driving distance of San Luis Obispo, California.
Kirkus Reviews described Practical Demonkeeping as a "Good-natured, often funny, but excessively complicated tale", observing that "First-novelist Moore throws in more plot twists than the Pacific Coast highway has curves".
